Chef Theo Randall is eyeing up his own cookery show.

The famous foodie would love to land his own programme on the small screen but admits it would have to have an element of "fun" about it, and he would make sure his recipes were easy to follow for viewers.

Chef Theo Randall joined ASK Italian as they attempted the world record for the biggest antipasti

Speaking at ASK Italian's world record attempt for biggest antipasti, which was made up of an incredible 62,100g of food, he told BANG Showbiz: "I love doing television, as long as it's fun because it should be.

"Essentially, it's a great format to teach people so I love doing things where you're doing a dish that's achievable and I love doing cooking that people can replicate.

"The biggest compliment you can get from TV is if people go, 'Oh I really like the look of that dish, I'm going to try that.'

He added: "As a chef you don't spend hours watching cookery programmes because you don't have time.

"It's fantastic that lots of people do watch them though.

"You'd think they would stop but cookery shows have just got bigger and bigger."

ASK Italian are hoping to set a new Guinness World Record with their gargantuan 'Giantipasti', which consists of an impressive 16,000g of cured meats, 13,000g of cheese and 13,000g of vegetables and is 10-metres long, and Theo was impressed with the set-up of the food.
